Richmond Telegram.
Not content with clearing out all the funds
legally available for general expenses during its
term, the last Democratic administration, it
now transpires, used ND $l17,143 40 which could
be lawfully used only In paying interest
tain school fund bonds. Having absorbed this
sum unlawfully, the payment of the interest for
which IL was set apart was put off until the Re-
pubcans came in Thus they have been com
PEELED, during the last fiscal year. to provide for
three payments of school bond interest of SI17-
143 40 each, instead of but two the number they
would have had to meet had the Democrats not
misapplied the fund. The practical result is
that the Republicans, instead of coming into
charge of a State treasury containing a balance
of $50, 800 IL. as the retiring Democratic An
ditors report showed, really came into charge of

had good deal to do with the recent Indian
war reports from that quarter A peculiar
effect of the rarefed atmosphere of that mount

distant objects ard make remote things look
very near. 1t has evidently operated so
in the reports of old Colorow and his band.

NOT AN OUTRAGE.

In commenting upon the removal OF set
tiers upon the W~innebago Reservation, the
Chicago Herald under the above caption
sensibly observes:
stripped of their sen%sationalism and the
mendacity impaired to them by the gym
pathizers with land thieves, the kilograms
from the Northwest concerning the removal
OF settlers from the Winnebago Reservation
in Dakota mean simply that United States
troops have arrived to notify the squatters
that they must 60, and that som oil the
Indians in the vicinity are looking on.
There is nc outrage about it. and the ma
iority OF the settlers are going in good
order, exactly as the cattle lords who tres
passed on Indian lands in t1e Southwest
went. These settlers have had two years
in which to prepare for their removal, and
they cannot complain OF the Governments
h~arshness. The cattle barons were given
but ninety days, and their removal was q
much mor serious matter. No one need
look for any respect for Indian treaties or
for Government rights in the ownership of
land in the free and easy West. but it is a
little singular that the meanest partisan.
shin actuates men in older communities to
refer habitually to the enforcement OF law
as against wholesale larceny as an outrage
on somebody. The men who have been
turned out OF the Winnebago Reservation
no title to their claims and could have
none 80 long as the land remained subject
to a treaty not as yet %abrogated. They
were mere interlopers, and in compelling
them to leave and seek homes elsewhere
the Government has done them a kindness
and it has kept faith with the Indians"

1t is no d~isparagement OF his predeces-
sors in office to say that Mr.. John Jolley
has made the best City Marshal Butte ever
had. Vigilant. active, energetic and bold
and fearless in the discharge OF his duties,
criminals cannot escape him, and no re-
sponsibility is shirked. No city in the
United States of the size of Butte has a
better disciplined and more effective police
force, and nom of like number of inhabi-
tants can show a smaller record OF crime.
This iattering condition OF things is
largely, if not wholly due to the executive
ability and u~ntiriug watchfulness of
Marshal Jolley. His faithful services in
the interests OF the peace and good order
OF the people should receive a substantial
recognition at the hands OF the city by
his reelection by an overwhelming ma
iority over his gentlemanly Republican op-
ponent.

WOMAN S~UFFRAGISTS.

One of the most plausible propositions
advanced by woman suffragists. says an
exchange, is that by comforting political
rights upon women campaigns and elections
may be purified and elevated. This was
the burden of the cry in Kansas, where the
ballot was given to the sex as a moral idea
and in the expectation that politics and
society wonld be the gamers thereby. Since
it has been discovered that the change has
tended to degrade rather than to elevate
politics, and hat so far as it has aft cted
society at all it has embittered and can
dal1zed it. it is not strange that many op-
p%onents OF the move should now recall the
confident assurances that the participation
of women in party strife would cast a halo
over the machine and lend an odor of sane
tity to the strug lie for Office which they did
not previously enjoy. This was to have
been expected, but the response that is
made to it is in the nature of a surprise.
You did not confer the ballot upon
angels" one sister says, "but upon women"
If the men who are complaining in Kansas
have anything to add concerning this pain
subject it is to be hoped that they will
speak at once.

BLAINE'S PROSPECTS.

The New York Star thinks Mr.. Blaine is
obviously foregathering for the Republican
nomination. At Chicago he spent his time
in consultation with Murat Halstead,
Alexander Sullivan. Mayor Roche and
others who are expected to contribute con-
tingents to the Blaine delegation to the
Republican convention. This conference
throws additional light on Deacon Richard
Smiths explanation of the Whitelaw Reid
incident. As the Republican situation
stands to-day, Blaine's advance has de-
ployed and driven back the Sherman skir-
mishers. The Allison contingent is in re-
serve, ready to be brought into action at
the right moment. The psrtisans of Haw-
ley and other light troops as yet unat-
tached are waiting opportunitat TO deter
mine on which side to cast the weight OF
their arms. The field is an Interesting one,
with enough show of opposition to amuse
the spectators. But the general public is
inclined to believe that it is only a sham
fight after all; that Whitelaw Reds analy-
sis OF 1887 holds as a prediction for 1888;
that Blaine will once more be set up against
Cleveland, and that this time the nomina-
ton will be made without serious contest
on the first ballot.
